  • THE BEST FORM OF EXECUTION OF THIS INVENTION
  • To describe the execution state of this invention, if explaining it with the attached drawing etc., it becomes as follows:
    • Fig. 1, with both (A) & (B), showsan explanatory principle -illustration drawing of this ivention, representing possibility for application of the real cese with the principle of the natural phenomena, to an apparatus/devices designed; this inventional apparatus is one of those in which the said principle & phenomena are emphasised and utilized for its design. It has been obtained that: With the sunlight 1 , i.e., spring day direct sunshine in Tokyo, for about 20 minutes, various colored pieces of crayon 4a put in a small white ceramic bowl 6 (shown in (A)) become a into each-other melted & colorfully mingled pasty crayon solution 4b (as (A)). (It means that in approximately over 60°C.) Cooling the bowl with oold water or the like, the pasty solution liquid-like becomes into a colorfully mingled crayon 4b solid (dolidified) in shape of the bowl bottom with a horizontal top-plane, having a teeth stick or the like put in the solution, after solidified, taking the mingled crayon out; next, as shown in (B), if putting piece of black paper 5a in the empty bowl 6 , and applying the said sunlight 1 through a convex lens 2 with a diameter of approx. 4 cm, and a focal distance of approx, 5 cm, focusing at its focal point 3 on the black paper piece 5a, as shown in (B'), the focal point on the blak pater piece 5b burns in approx. 1-2 seconds. (It means over 100°C.) Thus, it is what the above natural phenomena have been applied that the essential composition of this apperatus.
    • Fig. 2 shows an illustration of ciroult-a ayatem- diagrams of reversed utilization of a thermocouple-thermometer as a thermoelectromotivater (-motive device). obtainable of such possibility as that a thermocouple, which is one of the main components of this inventional apparatus, may be utilized as a thermoelectromotive substance used as a thormoelootromotivater; as follows. (A) reprents tha case of a serial switching circuit incerted in an off-line & real time system of a thermal indicator type thermoouple, i.e., a thermometer for transient measurement; and (B) represents the case of parallel circuits of an on-line & romote-betch system, consisted of a circuit provided with a thermocouple always thermo-measuring, indicating, and monitered and other circuits provided with other thermocouple(s) exclusively for electromotication, together with battery circuit connection, etc.
  • In Fig. 2, first, as for a thermocouple, which is a main component of this invention, it has been already well-known that the thermceleetromotive force oaused by the Seebeck effect including the Pertier effect of thermocouples (; as for their thermoelectromotive force values varied by their materials, they are as shown in, e.g., JIS C 1602, ISA (Type S), etc.; besides, as for existing thermocouples, if necessary, their protecting Lubus, including their compensating leading wires, moreover, as for thermo- couple material electric resistance eto., or their construction and so forth, as shown in the abave data/atandards, see JIS C 1601 (1960) etc.). From the viewpoints of their thermoelectromotive force relying on their materials, their work limits, and others, expected are effect and the like of CA etc.; only, which should be defferently selected according to the ambient conditions and others, at their material selection and so forth.
  • As the principle of utilizing method of thermocouples. in this invention, as for a thermoelectromotive substance, i.e., a thermoelectromotivater, thermocouple, i.e a june- tion pyrometer, obtaind are as follows: As having been already well-known, with the construction consisted of a thermocouple and a temperature measuring circuit by electromotive force, the thermocouple thermometers / junction py- tometers are more excellont in heat-resistanes than temperature measurinq electric resistance, and so, (of course, starting from approx. 200°C;) with a standard range of around 600-100°C, it is possible for them to measure, according to their materials such maximum ranges of temperature as those: in the case of CA:- up to 1200°C. PR:- up to 1600°C. end the like. Since measuring method of the thermocouple-thermometers / junction pyrometers is that: by mcasuring the thermoelectromotive force of the thermo- couple, temperature difference between the two Junction points is read through a milllvoltmeter, the voltage differenciation is only concerned to two kinds of metals and the temperature differenciation between the junction points; besides, the thermooouples materiels' characteristics are assencially provided with: 1) thermoelectromotive force per unit temperature variation to be large and to have a

  • linear characteristic to temperature; 2) even being under a long term exposure with high temperature, its wear or loss to be small, without any change in its metal formation or composition; 3) the same kind of thermocouples to always have the same electromotive force, and the like; and so, thermocouple-thermometers are actually fit for high temperature measuring (References; 'DENKI KOJI HIKKBI' (electric work handbook) editionally supervised by HASUI, Takao, issued by SANSEIDO Co., Ltd., Feb. 25, 1978, 3rd ED., and Tables etc.); therefore, moreover, thermouple-thermometer i.e. junction pyrometers may be possible for their reversed utilization to electromotive force devices, with a portial circuit modification etc. or with applying or an addition of a switching circuit, and the like.
  • The method of reversed utilization of thermocouple-thermometers aimes to gain an effect of a thermocouple as a thermoelectromotive substance and/or therrmoelectromotive device by revercely utilizing a thermocouple-thermometer i.e. junction pyrometer. An illustration of the above cir- euit systems is as shown in Fig. 2 etc., as follows: The most simple way is consisted of a circuit switched the circuit from a thermocouple 7 namely here which is a thermo- couple-thermometer (junction pyrometer) to its own thermal indicator 12 , as it were, into a circuit to the battery equipment 14 including charging- , scumleting-, and discharging- equipment & circuits, and others. Explaining the form of the said circuit system with the drawings, it is as follows: First, Fig. 2 (A) represents the case of the switching circuit inserted mode in an illustration of the reversed utilization of a thermocouple-thermometer as a thermoelectromotivater. The system is consisted of a single thermocouple (thermometer) 7 , with its line element i.e. its high temperature side ?8 (thermo-measuring position side) as a photo-accepter, and a switching circuit 11 inserted in the serial circuit from its low temperature part side. 7b which is the leading wire extracting hole side (a waterproof plug attached, etc.) said the standard position or cold junction, to its thermal indicator 12. This switching circuit 11 is also a measured temperature indicating circuit. Its operation is that: when switching ON the switch SW transient (only when pushed, it becomes ON: if detaching the hand, it becomes OFF , and so forth) (eif neccssary, it may be designed to enable to switch through a solenoid key K , etc. composing a timely or periodically automatic switching indicator circuit, with connecting to a timer stc,). the relay X operates, to make (M) the relay xicontact, and to break (B) the relay Xi, and then the thermal indicator circuit operates. These SW (or K), relay, X , and its contacts X1x2 are not hold (UH -- unhold); they are transient. with the above, this system enables to,only when necessary to measure temperature of a thermo-measured substance or heat source 8 , read the reference of the thermal indicator 12 , e.g., in the control center/ room (instrument room) (* if necessary, also to record), and so forth, as far as unnecessary, the circuit to the battery equipment 14 in the electricity room ( convertor / transformor room etc.) and others operates, to gain accum- lation of the motivated electricity by the electromotive force through the thermocouple(s) 7 . Next, in (B), without providing a by-pass circuit for temperature measuring, e.g., in the case of on-line & reote-batch system measuring and the like, a parallel circuit system employs plural thermocouples, individually for temperature measuring (ordinarlly, one) and for electromotivation a accumlating (one or more), in this method. Explaining an illustration of the circuit system,simply with the drawings, as follows: Fig. 2 (B) represents an illustration of the reversed utilization of thermocouple-termometers (junotion pyrometers) as a thermoelectromotive device, in a combined mode with both a temperature measuring & indicating circuit and thermoelectromotive & battery circuits. The form is as follows: Applying the thermocouple-thermometers 7e, 71(.....n) set towards/at etc. a heat source / thermal substance 8 , for the purpose of temperature measuring, the circuit is to be as usually connected to the thermal indicator 12 , and for the purpose of (exclusive) thermoelectomotivation, the circuit is to be connected instead of a thermal indicator 12 i.e., not to the thermal indicator 12 , but only to the battery equipment 14 the leading wires 9 from their leading wire extruction hole (low-temperature part) side 7b. A thermal indicator, in this case, may be set in the control room (instrument room) 10 and the like, and the battery equipment 14 is to be in the electricity room (convertor/ transformer room) 13 and the like. with the above, on-line s remote-batch system of thermal indicating with monitoring etc. becomes possible; at the same time, thermoelectromotivation through thermocouples becomes also possible.
  • Thus, with the above, since the method of the reversed utilization of a thermocouple-thermometer as a theroelec- tromotivater is that to make its thermo-measured substance/ heat or heat substance been as a heat source or a thermal substance of thermoelectromotivation by means of the said manner -- the thermocouple-thermomeer7 set towards or at a heat source or thermal substance 8 is to be used for a thormoelectromotivater; connecting, as it were. to a by-pass- or switching- circuit, serially; or parallelly with snotber/other one(s) similar but only instead of its thermal indicator, to the battery circuit, -- as far as there be any special reasons, it may be possible that, generally, wherever if industrially employing thermoooule-thermometers (juncton pyrometers), this thermocouple-thermoneter reversely utilized thermoelectromotive devioe's employment and/or combination is to be possible, and by this reversed utilization of the thermocouple-thermometer as a thermo- electromotivster, homemade electric generation, portial (or a pert of) homemade generation and/or supplementally supplying electric power source and the like may be made possibe.
  • Moreover, it is an essential component of this inven- tionel device, the composite electromotive apparatus utilizing solar energy and the like, in particular in its thermoelectromotive unit system; thet ia, taking solar energy and/or the like in place of the thermal substance/ heat source in this principle of thermoelectromotivation by means of reversed utilization of thermcouple-thermometers is this inventional composite electromotive apparatus utilizing solar energy and the like (: solar etc. energetic composite electromotivater).
  • Fig. 3 shows an illustration of this invention, mainly expressed by one-side omitted vertical section through the center line of the mostly global body of the illus- . trated apparatus, representing the essential elements' composition, a schematic diagram. Its composition is as follows; The essential elements of this apparatus are generally involved in a mostly transparent a qlobal vessel or container 20 (heat-resistig G fireproof, explosion-roof, windproof, waterproof, semi-airtight, etc). It contains a lens (convex) 2 as e heat-collecting condenser, and provids pore(s) (with vent capillary/channel & filter) (outside opening) 20a & (inside opening) 20b; at the focal point 3 of the lens, that is the center of the apparatus vessel 20 (globe center of the apparatus, or the like) 3 , thermocouple high-temperature part side / thermoposition(s) is/are positioned, that is the thermoelectromotive unit providing the said thermocouple(s) or a thermocouple elements disk 7 as a thermo-accepting theermoelectromotivater supporting which a spacer 21 is set for dividing & consisting the high-temperature room side 23 and the low-temperature room side 24 and so forth; the photovoltaic unit, which accepts sun-light etc. 1 diffused rays after converged lb with a photovoltaic accepter/unit 15 ; a suction type cooling fan 16 , which utilizes convention etc. and acts for heat removal from & cooling etc. the thermo- couple low-temperature part side 7b and the photo-accepter (photovoltaic elements unit) 15aand others ; a magnetic electromotive unit 17 (in direct mode), which operates driven by rotation of the fan 16 etc.; and others; inolud- ing other constructions for repeated utilization of suction air etc. which will become air current for photo-accepter heat removal ventilation 16a , passing through a venting route 16b etc. and through lead wire path(s) 28a (Fig. 4) etc., the air may be designed for reutilizetion and the like for rotation acceleration or the like. This operates as follows: Sunlight (etc)1 is heat-collected and photo- condenced through a convergence effect by a lens 2 including a centripetal heat-oollecting a & photo-condensing effect and the like by a global vessel 20 of the apparatus, at the lens focal point 3 positioned at the qlobe center of the apparatus, or the like 3 ; the diffused rays of sun- light or the like after converged 1c are thermo-accepted & thermo-focused at the high-temperature part side 7a of the thermocouple 7 or the central part side 7a of a thermocouple elements disk 7 which is a compound thermocouples substance/element in a form like topless-conic, oonic, or others' for atrengthoning the effects of thermocouples, those sides are positioned at the said lens focel point / the apparatus globe center or the like 3 . Then, this themoelectromotive unit system displays its functional performance of thermoelectromotivation by the thermocouple's Seebeck effect through temperature differentiation between the said high-temperature part side 7a and the low-temperature part side (the circumference part side of the thor- mooouple elements disk) 7b , including the thermocouple's Pertier effect which arises by that motivated electric current being charged on the thermocouple line element and fother more improves electromotive efficiency together with the fomer effot, because the latter effect and the like raises temperature differentiation more with its result of the cooling effect on the low-temperature part side 7b i.e. the standard position / cool junction; and thus, this ther- moeleotromotive unit performs the said function efficiently by utilizing solar heat and the like as a heat source. Besides, in the photovoltaic unit system, its component, photovoltaic accepter & elements unit 15 accepts the sunlight etc. 1 diffused rays after converged lb in the photo-accepter 15a i.e. a photovoltaic elements bowl or the like in a shape of a cup or others e.g. in a form as a spheric part or the like with the center point set at the focal point 3 in order to make its photo-accepting efficiency enlarged;the convection utilizing etc. suction mode cooling fan 16 performs its cooling function for heat removal to raise the photovoltaic functional action & effect of the photo-accepter (photovoltaic elements unit) 15a that is the essential body of the photovoltaic unit system, and for aiding the temperature differentiation effect at the thermocouple low-temperature part side 7b and so forth. WIth the fan's16 rotation, photo-accepter heat removal ventilation 16b is set towards and into the photovoltaic unit neck vent 15b to rmove heat from the photovoltaic accepter/elements unit, at the same time the venting air enables to be reutilized and /or utilized for rotation acceleration or the like, as well as to raise both photovoltaic and thermoelectromotive effects, moreover, the rotation of the fan 16 works for the magnetic electromotive / electric generator unit 17 . In the magnetic electromotive unit system, in the case of direct mode, the magnetic electromotive / electric generator unit 17 is involved and installed along/insids the inner wall surface of the fan 16 neck (ring-shaped rotation axis site) of the fan 16 neck, and the fan 16 rotation drives the magnetic electromotive unit 17 (in the case of indirect mode, i.e., if inevitably, through a wing wheel or the like by means of the sent air & others from and passing through the venting route(s) 16b etc. with the fan 16 rotation caused by convection and others, so-called an electric generator and the like is driven ); and the magnetic electromotivation / electric generation is made possible and efficient. This fan 16 rotation driven magnetic electromotive unit 17 system provides so-called magnetic eleotromo- tivation function based on the well-known electromotive princiles; a detailed schematic & isometric drawing of an illustrated neck construction of this apparatus body composed with the said unit 17 is as shown in Fig. 4.
  • The spacer 21 devides together with the thermocouple elements disk 7 , this apparatus vessel 20 inside into high-temperature room side 23 and low-temperature room side 24, supports the thermocouple elements disk 7 and the like, and is available for a part of leading wire routes, or others, but not limited the above, together with the apparatus vessel 20 mostly global and transparent (at the bottom side, shading off semi-transparent through opeque may be permissible), which provides pores with vent capi- lary/channel & filters (outside opening & inside opening) 20a, 20b , the spacer 21 also provides the air adjusting openings with filters, (from warm to cool) 21a & (from cool to warm) 21b, and air adjusting valves, (from warm to cool) 21c & (from cool to warm) 21d , for promoting or aiding the fan's 16 rotation through convection etc. caused by temperature differentiation etc. by those designs; in addition to the above, the spacer 21 is designed to have a cool air current controling rim (brim) 21e, high-temperature reflecting & holding wall surface 21f, cool vent protecting/controling wall surface 22 , etc. those are convection controlinv wall surfaces and so sorth to promote the convection's directivity or hindrance, and others, including those through the lens fixture 22 etc. with the conveotion controling rim surface etc. (except the case of the lens unified with the apparatus vessel), all the above are useful for the aimed effect of convection, far-Lher more, the spacer 21 is helpfu). for protecting & holding the temperature differentiation between the low-tem- pereture art side 7a And the hiqh-temperature part side 7b of the thermocouple or the thermoelectromotive elements disk 7; besides, the spacer 21 serves for heat avoidance of the photo-acceptor 15a i.e. a kind of photovoltaic elements disk/unit body 15 and other effects and function it performs.
  • What is shown in Fig. 4 is a detailed schematic & isometric drawing of an illustrated neck construction of this inventional apparatus body (Fig. 3), representing typical assembly of the magnetic electromotive, nit (direct-mode), with a brief block diagram of its connecting devices, circuits, etc., which are similar to those in other illustrations (Fig. 5 , Fig. 6). Explaining with the drawing etc., an illustrated form is as follows: The construction of the fan neck (magnetic electromotive - / electric generator- unit frame) 27 , which is positioned in the apparatus neck 25 , rotation axis site is like that: the ratation axis bearing contact is to be between the inner wall side surface of the apparatus body and outside the outer wall i.e. enclosure of the fan neck (frame) 27 and the like; in / on the surface of the frame inner wall 27a of the fan neck 27 , a parmanent magnet 17a with magnetic poles, N & S, 17b & 17c is involved; father, the ring-shaped frame inner wall encircles an element of coil 18 . The drawing only schematically expresses the coil 18 with one of turns, i.e. n-1 , in actual, great numbers of turns, te n multiplex x-nx . in its construction. Besides, the coil 18 portion aorcssing the magnetic flux, and the like, is to be consisted of multi-coil type 18a or the like, considered of effectiveness and efficiency. An illustration of the multi-coil type construction is made of a coil which is consisted of a spiral electric-conductor, that is a coil made of a coiled conductor -- coil of coil -and so forth.
